Biolumen Lab

摘要

It may look like an alien life form, but Biolumen Lab is indeed a classroom-an in¼atable, cellbasedone at that-for secondary school students to experience a week of science-basedlearning, generating curiosity and promoting science as a potential career path.“Biolumen Lab is an experience, an environment and a place to learn and try out new ideas,through combining scienti¹c and creative arts and methods of exploration. It allows people to getto grips with how our genes shape us,” notes project lead Ant Nevin. “This is done through extracting and sequencing DNA from plant and fungi. The resulting strings of numbers and lettersare then used to control the light and sound environment of the Biolumen lab at the end of theweek-long experience.”
